RMurphy: the roll bar is the only mod that's visible , and I kind of like how it looks... The other mods include eibach front roll bar, tein mono flex coilovers (oem suspension included), radar detector (lol), and new wheels tires break pads and rotors.

seems like strange mods unless you're racing it, but assuming it rides nice I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this one.

You must be driving the new toll road in Austin with no traffic. I live in DFW but go to Austin a lot and the traffic is awful!!!

yeah traffic in austin is horrible ....

the reason I don't deal with any on my commute is I live south and work north... it's always bumper to bumper going in the opposite direction when I'm on the road

At the risk of being repetitious, it's a good idea to get it checked out by a reputable shop before purchasing. It's typically worth the $100 or so up front to know what you are getting into.

I went to go see it over the weekend. It was pretty chewed up and beat on hard.

I guess proper maintenance isn't everything!

The search continues, much to my chagrin.

I'm surprised a car with 17K on it was is such bad condition. Was it the car you linked us all to?

My car with 112K doesn't look beat on and oddly my drivers seat just as equally warn. Very odd.

Same here. A stock car i would not pay over book value. If it had some crazy stuff done and was being included in the sale thats a different story, but not for an all OEM (or mostly OEM) car
